Hier drüben im Graben [English translation]
Hier drüben im Graben [English translation]
Almost everything remained - the others are dead
over here in the trench, everything is fine
only Jürgen weeps quietly alone
he looks to the stars and dreams of home
Then desire gets a hold of us and the cold of the night
What did the years do to us?
Come and give me your hand
and we walk through the country
We will never be forgiven
it will always be so
all the dreams of the pain
all the dead of the march
do you hear the children scream?
it will always be so
Almost everything is frozen
Only you hold me warm
the letter from home
Keeps me going
Then the madness gets hold of us
and the cold of the night
What did the years do to us?
Come and give me your hand
and bury me on the beach
We will never be forgiven
it will always be so
all the dreams of pain
and it breaks your heart
a soldier dies alone
it will always be so
Jürgen, do you hear the world
Today you are a hero
tomorrow you're alone again
it will always be so
All the dreams of pain
and forever the march
do you hear the children scream?
it will always be so
it will always be so
And then love gets hold of us
and the dreams of the night,
What did the years do to us?
And then the devil gets hold of us
and the gods of the night
What did this war do to us?
Come and give me your hand
and we walk through the country
We will never be forgiven
it will always be so
all the dreams of pain
all the dead of the march
do you hear the children scream?
This will always be -
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle my star
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle my star
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle and get me home
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle my star
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle my star
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle and get me home
The others are dead!
Over here in the trench is everything fine...
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle my star
Over here in the trench
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle and get me home
Over here in the trench
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle and get me home
Is everything fine
Is everything fine
Almost everything forgotten -
there was no reason
He drew his pistol
and put it in his...
